The FRAN^© second section consists of a structured list of nursing interventions (185), grouped according to basic needs :

• feeding and hydration
   

• elimination
   

• hygiene  
  
  

• mobilization

according to relational and educative needs :

• communication

and according to needs specific to institutionalized clients:

• respiration  
  
  

• medication  
  
  

• intravenous therapy  
  
  

• treatments  
  
  

• diagnostic procedures.

In PLAISIR^© reference manual, each intervention is presented in the following format:

1. Purpose:   in terms of the outcomes of the intervention.  
   
   

2. Description:   list of the activities included in the intervention.

This list is however incomplete as certain support activities are not listed in the description, to avoid needless repetitions.  These activities have nonetheless been considered in the determination of the "time" required to perform the intervention.  These acts are among the following:

• consulting the care plan, medical orders;  
  
  

• washing hands;  
  
  

• preparing and disposing of supplies;  
  
  

• identifying the client;
   

• giving general information and guidelines relative to nursing actions;  
  
  

• isolating the client;  
  
  

• positioning and making the client comfortable during and following an intervention.

3. Instructions: they describes the different parameters of the interventions to register in the form (FRAN^©). These parameters allows for building specific nursing actions (around 1000) from the generic 185 nursing interventions.  
   
   

4. Levels of assistance: examples for each of the levels of assistance that may be required by the client.
